    Spouses being asked to leave the room

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to Indenial's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If I had a practice that accommodated that it might work. As it is, I do the whole thing at once. There is no "interview session" with the patient clothed. I interview them while I examine them....

    Spouses being asked to leave the room

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to Indenial's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And I am highly suspicious of people who think that it is appropriate. I won't do it. There is a chaperone of course. I have to speak frankly to the patient, and I can't be sure we are having an...

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to taramade's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes you will have to work days you would rather not, including holidays. Sometimes you will get to be off. That's just the way it

    Spouses being asked to leave the room

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to Indenial's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Speaking only for myself and my own practice, I will not do a pelvic exam with a spouse/so in the room. Will not. If patient wants them there, they can find a different

    Stress in grad school

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to MillieT's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would not say clinical was more stressful than course work, but in truth I did not find the course work itself especially stressful. I certainly found it busy/time consuming and being that busy,...

    I'm a nurse...for animals?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to trauma_lama's topic in General Nursing

    I don't care what people call themselves. I could call myself an astronaut but that wouldn't make it so. There are serious problems in the world, and if I'm going spend a single moment worrying about...

    This made me mad when I saw it.

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    The pay is a little low, but I see nothing wrong with requiring proof of completion of a degree program and reasonable grades.

    The War On Fat

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to Crazed's topic in General Nursing

    I know their meds and know their history, so if there is a physiological reason, I have the evidence. Failing that, I assume it is usually due to more calories in than out. Why that is is up to the...

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to SEWRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree with the above. You will learn a lot in a smaller hospital because you have to because you are it. No residents, no in house NPs or PAs on the unit, no hospitalist 24/7, no ancillary staff...
